lyrics

Fortune tellers give me heartache
'Cause they know I can't take
Hearing what will come and break my heart
But when the past comes back to haunt me
Whirring, churning, flaunting,
All my past mistakes are daunting memories

Sleeping with a plastic cover on the bed
Will it save me from the monsters in my head?
The books upon my shelf won't read to me tonight
I guess I'll turn off all the lights now

Give and take from me
All the sweet and sour things
In my memory
That I can't take with me again
Screw me over but
Keep a four-leaf clover near
You're gonna need it when the truth blows over you again

Fruit flies landing on the window
Whisper that I can't go
Just because you don't know where to find me now
It's just a short fixation
On my own elation
Just need a small vacation from reality right now

Sleeping with an angel perched above the bed
Save me from the thoughts of you inside my head
The doll upon the shelf stares into my dead eyes
I guess it's really no surprise now

Give and take from me
All the sweet and sour things
In my memory
That I can't take with me again
Screw me over but
Keep a four-leaf clover near
You're gonna need it when the truth blows over you again

Give and take from me
All the sweet and sour things
In my memory
That I can't take with me again
Screw me over but
Keep a four-leaf clover near
You're gonna need it when the truth blows over you again
